Leading the charge are the film’s stars, Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), along with their hilarious off-screen dynamic. Reynolds’ wife, actress Blake Lively, couldn’t resist playfully teasing her husband’s recent press tour antics, adding a touch of comedic fuel to the already buzz-worthy campaign.
A Water Gun Fight for the Ages: Lively Captures Reynolds’ “Work” on Instagram
On Saturday, Lively took to her Instagram Stories, sharing a lighthearted jab at Reynolds and Jackman. The post featured a video clip from the 2024 Waterbomb Festival in Seoul, South Korea, showcasing the two actors playfully soaking the crowd with water guns during their on-stage appearance.
Lively’s witty caption added a layer of humor to the scene: “When he tells you he’s going to work and then you see him on MTV Spring Break.” This playful jab poked fun at the lighthearted and seemingly carefree behavior of the two actors during a supposed “work” event. While promoting a movie is certainly demanding, Reynolds and Jackman’s high-spirited antics seemed to suggest otherwise.

Beyond the water gun fight, Lively upped the comedic ante by proposing a new, perhaps more fitting, title for the upcoming film.

This suggestion aligns perfectly with Deadpool’s signature fourth-wall-breaking humor and potentially hints at the comedic elements within the film itself.

Following their Shanghai visit, the duo moved on to Seoul, further fueling the excitement for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Reynolds, maintaining his signature comedic tone, shared highlights from their visit on Instagram.
